SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
–
driving
for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
–
using leaded petrol;
–
u
sing oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
–
faulty
ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
–
loss of power
,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

Conseils : antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (B90 - U9\

ENG_NU_817-10_B90_Dacia_2
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
–
N
ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–
D
o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–
It
is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–
W
hen towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not
really needed.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
(“see and be seen”).
–
U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –
A
void using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
–
insuf
ficient pressure,
–
using non-recommended tyres.

Boîte automatique (B90 - L90 Ph2 - F90 Ph2 - R90 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_817-10_B90_Dacia_2
Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear-
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess
6 ,
visible
on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button

.
–
I
f the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
–
I
n cold weather
, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
–
V
ehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for-
ward, with the gear lever in the N posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.

WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment.
Consult your approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)
Total train weight (MTR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* obtained by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 525
Permissible nose weight* 60
Maximum permissible load on roof 80
kg (including carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the GTW - MAM calculation is equal to zero, or when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the identification plate.
–
It
is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
–
When
towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:
–
the Maximum permissible wei
ght at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,
–
the maximum permissible all-
up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occu\
rs first).
In
either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
–
The
engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by
10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,0\
00 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer on (except utility version) depending on local laws
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer,
within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
